Last Post from China

These guys are motorcycle cart drivers taking a break between jobs at 'rest point' on the way to the gym, where I often see them taking a nap, reading the newspaper, gossiping or playing a game.

Right now I'm doing the same, taking a quick break from the chaos before spending the next few hours finishing packing and cleaning up the evidence of my ten month stay in China. I am amazed at much junk I've accumulated, despite trying not to!

Tomorrow morning I will be heading to Beijing, where I'm going to spend Friday and Saturday exploring some parts of the city I still haven't seen, including, *ahem* Tiananmen Square. Then, if all goes well, I will fly home on Sunday. Expect a jet lagged post on Monday or Tuesday!

  3. Enjoy Beijing and have a safe trip home. I hope you'll be able to sleep a lot on the plane.
    I have enjoyed your commentary on life in China through the eyes of a westerner.

  6. By now you should be almost back home. Aren't you glade. It does not matter how you feel, the trip to China is once in a life time experience and it will stay with you forever. I also back from Taiwan and now is in the US for the summer at our Cape Cod home.
